Netscaler VPX Help

[nitrobass24]

I have XenDesktop setup in my home lab, and I can start up a Windows Desktop from my iPad, when I am on my internal network.

What I would like to do is make it so that I can use my iPad when I am not at home to spin up a desktop session.

Has anyone here done this? I cant seem to find any good guides on how to set up external access for XD5.

A VPN would be the best way to go IMO. A Cisco ASA with the AnyConnect VPN Client on an iPad would work great.

Never done it via Netscaler/Access Gateway, but here is a blog that might help:

How have you done it? If I dont need to use the netscaler than I would rather not. Can I do it with just the XenApp site inside desktop studio?

I used Secure Gateway + Web Interface on same server:

^ Screens are old but info still applies. You'll want to use SG 3.3.1 + WI 5.4

You need a trusted SSL cert for this .... I do not know/cannot remember if you can use self signed certs with iOS/android devices.

I came across an article where someone has already done this:
http://community.spiceworks.com/how...e-devices-without-using-citrix-access-gateway

I am thinking each XenDesktop is exposed via this method once they are up and running.
But I'm no XD pro .... that's a work in progress.

I found that article, but it requires that each desktop have its own public IP. Since I only have 1...I need a NAT solution. The first article you found looks to do exactly what I need, just waiting on my new switch to be delivered.

I will update this when I have a chance to try it out.
